Dublin School of Creative Arts | Let’s Take the Wrong Way Home

This year’s exhibition is different. As graduates, we have had to adapt to new and challenging circumstances. Moving to an online environment, we had to think of alternate ways to make our Graduate Exhibition come to life. In its translation into a digital space, the very real and tactile nature of the work we produce is obscured. In our daily lives, there is a sense of human and material touch which is equally obscured. Working from home, graduates are in a new environment. Their creative output extends into their domestic lives as their studies come to a close. It is the parallel between the materiality of our work and the absence of the sense touch that frames this year’s Graduate Exhibition.

This website presents the work of 102 graduating students from the TU Dublin School of Creative Arts, School of Mechanical and Design Engineering and School of Media. The exhibition represents the culmination of years of full-time study and gives our students the opportunity to showcase the results of their imagination, hard work, and creative skills.

Let’s Take the Wrong Way Home

The project started as a reflection on the idea of how technology allows us at any time to see places that we have never been to before. This series is a collection of photomontage works that are representations of landscapes that do not exist. Each piece is a combination of photographs from places that I call home, Poland, and Ireland, constituting an unfulfilled dream to have those two places become one. As part of the process of creating the series, Google Street View was used to document sites of great personal significance to me in my hometown of Wrocław. The photographs made from the screens were taken using 5x4” black and white sheets of negative film, processed and printed in the darkroom. By tearing and gluing them, they were combined then with prints depicting Irish natural landscapes.
